Trump’s Bold Moves on Iran, China, and Russia | John Solomon with Fred Fleitz

·13 min·3 clips

Hugh Hewitt opens with Fred Fleitz, the former chief of staff to the National Security Council and a former CIA analyst. The conversation moves fast into the Biden-era Russia and Ukraine story. New emails are folded into that frame. The point is that the official policy on punishing Russia after Crimea did not fit the quieter political reality. Fleitz treats that gap as further evidence of what he calls the Biden crime family. The Burisma connection is part of that argument. He also pushes back on Joe Biden's claim that he never discussed Hunter Biden's business. The show keeps moving instead of dwelling on procedural detail. That pace gives the segment real energy. The tone stays direct and accusatory. The episode then shifts to President Trump's meeting with El Salvador's president. That meeting is framed as a welcome contrast to the Biden years. Trump is presented as inviting a real friend to the Oval Office. The conversation uses that scene to praise a tougher stance on the far left, terrorists, and criminals who would like to destroy both countries. The border argument stays close at hand. The Maryland immigration case comes up briefly to sharpen the point. Media reaction becomes part of the story too. The hosts suggest that Trump's return to office unnerves reporters and pleases countries that are grateful he is president. Commercial breaks interrupt the flow, but the show returns to the same clear editorial line. What remains is a compact conservative briefing on foreign policy, immigration, and political double standards.

As heard by us

A brisk, combative segment tying Biden, Trump, and border politics together.

This Townhall Review episode stays tightly focused on a single argument: public statements and private actions around Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Russian gas flowing to Ukraine do not seem to match up.
